Reactions of /sup 20/Ne on /sup 150/Nd at 175 MeV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
Energy spectra of charged-particle reaction products from bombardment of /sup 150/Nd by 175-MeV /sup 20/Ne were measured with three ..delta..E,E telescopes at angles from 3.5/sup 0/ to 100/sup 0/. The evaporation residues and symmetric-fission fragments were easily identified; their total cross sections were 1150 +- 90 and 280 +- 35 mb, respectively. The sum of these numbers is in good agreement with the fusion cross section predicted by the Bass model. The elastic cross section drops to 1/4 of the Rutherford cross section at 30.4 +- 0.2/sup 0/ (lab), which implies that the total reaction cross section is 2.63 b. Products from quasielastic and from strongly damped collisions were observed; their angle-integrated yields account for the balance of the reaction cross section.
